ALOHA!

We are finally jumping on the blog bandwagon so we can keep you all updated on what's going on with us!

Makayla is now 2.5 years old. She's your typical sassy, active toddler. She is in her third week of preschool. She goes to the YMCA two days a week for 2.5 hours and she loves it! She does a great job with her ABC's, numbers and colors! She usually counts to 13 or 14 and then jumps to 17 and 19. :D

Here is a picture from her first day. Excuse the crazy hair! :D


Monday, she decided to get into my makeup. She thought it would be a great idea to paint her face with all day lipstick. Yeah, that was fun to try to get off! Poor thing had red cheeks from me trying to rub it off and there's still some left on her cheeks. :D




Miss Mak loves her baby brother. *Most of the time :D


Elijah is 6.5 weeks old. Time is flying by! He had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he is 22 inches long and weighs 12 pounds! He's in the 75th percentile for weight. He got a clean bill of health and the doctor said he looks great! Dr. McEvoy confirmed our suspicions that Elijah does have strawberry hemangioma on his forehead. We are just going to watch it's growth for now. It should fade when he's a toddler but I am going to be doing some research on them so I can be armed with information in case we have to fight for a referral to see a dermatologist. We are pretty sure that where it is located, that it won't grow to bother one of his eyes.



He seems to be a happy boy (for the most part). He smiles a lot! He was smiling up a storm and even let out a couple little laughs last night as I was trying to get him to go to sleep.

This is probably the only time that I can say Elijah favors me a tiny bit. It's probably just the cheeks and all those chins. It's only in this picture because the kid looks just like his Dad!!! :D I'll have to find a picture of me as a baby.
